Compositionally Challenged
Week 34 Hacks and Tricks
Two "hacks/tricks" were used during the creation of this image:
Firstly the lens cells of this tiny enlarger lens, which usually has an aperture of f/4, were removed and put into the body of a similar lens with longer focal length, which expands its wide open aperture to f/2.
Secondly the limited image circle of this (originally half-frame) lens was used in order to create a strong vignette on full frame, allowing for a very different "spotlight-like" composition, which could be done in post-processing, though I vastly prefer to see most of the final result already in-camera.
Shot with a Schneider Kreuznach "Componon 28 mm F 2 (modified)" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
